Hello sun on 🌞

An absolute titan of literature who should have won the Nobel.

Close to a nice pub in Perry Sound.

A picture of clank legacy 2. On a customized home gaming table. The game is laid out and its starting position, and it is on a ocean blue mat that came with the table.

Trying out the part 2 of clank legacy. And giving it a spin on the new gaming table! We really liked the first legacy version of this game, so this one has even better reviews and we're looking forward to playing through it.

What'd you just call me? :)

I was just looking for BuriedInPrint in your list, but not a lot of people know about her.

good list!

I don't normally post links from Youtube - but this made me smile!

Trying Splendor dual lately. I think I like it better than the full game!

The view in fall, from the front yard!

4 pirate meeples holding different items: a parrot, a cupcake, a yeacup, and a sword.

Pirates of the High Teas now has pirate meeples (or whatever we're calling them now...)! This is one of the ways that I'm aiming to make the game accessible, through dual encoding for colorblind players. Also, they're just fun. Can you tell what they're holding?

Love this!

Amazing tool!

Never even heard of these - how interesting!

The work is real! Rulebooks are just harder than people think to write concisely while still managing to tell the player how to, well, play the game. :) Many designers find the blind read/play the hardest to witness!

It looks complex and interesting! Seems perfect to try to test in a Spiel. Have you tried Protospiel Online? The event just past, but there's no end of testing/testers there. :)

I am now thinking of everyone I follow on social media only in terms of what loot they'll drop.

Thank you.

You must have known what loot I drop already, being so discerning. Dark chocolate covered hazelnuts and old-school fountain pens with gold-tipped nibs and unlimited azure ink, of course.

What say you, cat owners, is this relatable?

This looks fun!

Almost every time. I think it's because you don't have enough time for all the other things in life, so you pack them into the vaca!

I like all your tips. They've been very helpful! (plus your posts on boardgames, but I'm biased :) )

A mid-game setup of Moon Adventure.

Holy smokes, Moon Adventure by @44gi.bsky.social is one brutal co-op. Every rule was the most punishing possible answer to our question. Turn one was a gut punch and then the game kicked us while we were down until we lost a few turns later. It's wonderful and I can't wait to die on the moon again.

This looks fun - we've always had good luck with Deep Sea Adventure!
